Beauty

Beauty
Cannot be
Contaminated
By the material world
In which we live in.

It shall not be
Corrupted
Like so many were before
It.

Beauty must live in
Isolation.

It’s own impeccably perfect
World.

You can only glimpse it from a
Distance.

And that hardens you.

It teases you.

Tempts you.


The human body
Provides
A perfect shield for it
To taunt you
Mercilessly.

Do not strive for
Beauty.

Instead
Strive for
Yourself.

And all the wonderful
Imperfections
It implies.
For you are real.

And
Beauty is just an
Illusion.
